Secondary school students across NSW can show off their creative talents in the Parliament of NSW’s short film competition Parli-Flicks.
Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said entries are now open for the competition.
“Students are asked to submit a one-minute short film addressing this year’s theme ‘Should the voting age be lowered?’, which is an interesting topic to explore,” Mr Saunders said.
“This is the third year Parli-Flicks has been held, and it’s a creative way for students to get involved in learning about and expressing their understanding of our democratic system.
“I encourage all students to be imaginative – your entry can be comical, fictional or take more of a documentary style, with the judges looking for entries that stand out from the crowd.
“I can’t wait to see what our local students come up with!”
The winning entry will receive a cash prize of $250, and all finalists will be invited to an awards night at Parliament House later in the year. Financial assistance for travel and accommodation will be provided to regional finalists to attend the awards night.
Shortlisted categories include:
- Best regional
- Best metropolitan
- Best junior secondary (Years 7-9)
- Best senior secondary (Years 10-12)
